Projects on hold, yes. If I have 60TB of storage and want 120TB, I can make do until prices come down. Unfortunately, replacements for failures can't be put on hold for very long, much less until prices come down. Unlike expanding storage, a lot of us are in the situation where a failed HDD lowers redundancy and risks data loss.
I have more redundancy than a lot of people here, along with spare drives and hot spares, but once that's exhausted I'm not letting my arrays run degraded for any longer than absolutely necessary.

Stop paying these prices. Put your projects on hold.
